Definitions

  • the invention relates to a reactor for partial oxidations of a fluid reaction mixture in the presence of a heterogeneous particulate catalyst and to a use.
  • a large number of partial oxidation reactions of fluid that is to say gaseous, liquid or gaseous / liquid reaction mixtures which are carried out in the presence of heterogeneous particulate catalysts are known in chemical process engineering. Such reactions are usually exothermic, often highly exothermic. So far, they have mainly been carried out on a large industrial scale in shell-and-tube reactors, with contact tubes in which the heterogeneous particulate catalyst is introduced and through which the fluid reaction mixture is conducted and the heat of reaction released is dissipated indirectly via a heat transfer medium which is in the space between the Contact tubes circulated. A molten salt is often used as the heat transfer medium.
  • thermoplates thermoplates
  • thermoplates thermoplates
  • Heat exchanger plates are predominantly defined as sheet-like structures which have an interior with supply and discharge lines and a small thickness in relation to the area. They are usually made from sheet metal, often steel sheet. Depending on the application, in particular the properties of the reaction medium and the heat transfer medium, however, special, in particular corrosion-resistant, but also coated materials can be used.
  • the supply and discharge devices for the heat transfer media are generally arranged at opposite ends of the heat exchange plates.
  • the heat carrier is frequently water, but also Diphyl ® (mixture of 70 to 75 wt .-% of diphenyl ether and 25 to 30 wt .-% of diphenyl) are used, which also partially evaporate in a boiling; it is also possible to use other organic heat transfer media with low vapor pressure and also ionic liquids.
  • ionic liquids as heat carriers is described in the unpublished German patent application 103 16 418.9. Ionic liquids which contain a sulfate, phosphate, borate or silicate anion are preferred.
  • Ionic liquids which contain a monovalent metal cation, in particular an alkali metal cation, and a further cation, in particular an imidazolium cation, are also particularly suitable. Ionic liquids which contain an imidazolium, pyridinium or phosphonium cation as a cation are also advantageous.
  • thermoplates or thermoplates is used in particular for heat exchanger plates, the individual, usually two, plates of which are connected to one another by spot and / or roll welds and are often plastically formed with the use of hydraulic pressure to form pillows.
  • thermoplate is used here in the sense of the above definition.
  • Reactors for carrying out partial oxidations using thermal sheets are known, for example, from DE-A 199 52 964.
  • the arrangement of a catalyst for carrying out partial oxidations in a bed around heat exchanger plates in a reactor is described.
  • the reaction mixture is fed to the reactor interior between the heat exchanger plates at one end of the reactor and discharged at the opposite end and thus flows through the intermediate space between the heat exchanger plates. This results in a constant cross-mixing of the reaction mixture with the result of a high degree of homogeneity thereof, and with a given conversion a much better selectivity compared to carrying out the reaction in a tube bundle reactor is achieved.
  • DE-C 197 54 185 describes a further reactor with indirect heat dissipation via a cooling medium which flows through heat exchanger plates, the heat exchanger plates being designed as thermal plates which consist of at least two steel plate plates which are formed at predetermined points to form flow channels are put together.
  • the reactor which is predominantly cylindrical in shape, contains a coherent catalyst bed in which a plate heat exchanger is embedded.
  • thermoplates Extensive investigations on reactors with thermoplates have shown that there are problems due to deformation due to one-sidedly high loading of the thermoplates when the pressure difference between the reaction mixture and the external environment is too great, as well as mechanical stability problems due to deformation under high thermal stress. These problems can occur when the reaction mixture is under positive pressure, but also when the reaction is operated under negative pressure.
  • the object of the invention was to provide a reactor with removal of the heat of reaction via a heat transfer medium which flows through thermoplates, which can be operated economically and without problems, in particular while avoiding the problems set out above.
  • the invention is intended to ensure the geometric stability of the thermoplate modules, in particular of the gaps intended to accommodate the catalyst.
  • the solution consists of a reactor for partial oxidations of a fluid reaction mixture in the presence of a heterogeneous particulate catalyst, with one or more cuboid thermoplate modules, each of which is formed from two or more rectangular thermoplates arranged parallel to one another with the release of a gap each, with the heterogeneous particulate catalyst can be filled and which is flowed through by the fluid reaction mixture, the heat of reaction being absorbed by a heat transfer medium which flows through the thermoplate and at least partially evaporates, as well as - with a cylinder jacket, completely surrounding the thermoplate modules, completely surrounding the same, comprising a cylinder jacket and the same at both ends of the hoods and their longitudinal axis is aligned parallel to the plane of the thermoplates, and with one or more sealing elements, which are arranged in such a way that the fluid reaction mixture only flows through the gaps except through the reactor interiors delimited by the hoods.
  • thermoplate modules are thus made available, with thermoplates through which a heat carrier flows, which absorbs the heat of reaction and at least partially evaporates in the process, which are cuboid in shape and are introduced to relieve pressure in a predominantly cylindrical envelope that completely surrounds them.
  • the sheet-metal plate modules are each formed from two or more rectangular thermoplates arranged parallel to one another while leaving one gap free.
  • thermoplates are made of corrosion-free materials, preferably of stainless steel, for example with the material numbers 1.4541 or 1.4404, 1.4571 or 1.4406, 1.4539 or also 1.4547 or other alloyed steels.
  • the material thickness of the sheets used for this can be chosen between 1 and 4 mm, 1, 5 and 3 mm, but also between 2 and 2.5 mm, or 2.5 mm.
  • thermo sheet As a rule, two rectangular sheets are connected on their long and short sides to form a thermo sheet, whereby a rolled seam or side welding or a combination of both is possible, so that the space in which the heat transfer medium is later located is sealed on all sides.
  • the edge of the thermoplates is advantageously cut off at or already in the lateral roll seam of the longitudinal edge, so that the poorly or not cooled edge region, in which catalyst is usually also introduced, has the smallest possible geometric extent.
  • the sheets are joined together by spot welding.
  • An at least partial connection by straight or curved and also circular roller seams is also possible. It is also possible to subdivide the volume through which the heat transfer medium flows into several separate areas by means of additional roller seams.
  • thermoplates One possibility of arranging the welding spots on the thermoplates is in rows with equidistant spot distances of 30 to 80 mm or also 35 to 70 mm, whereby distances of 40 to 60 mm are also possible, a further embodiment being distances of 45 to 50 mm and also Is 46 to 48 mm.
  • the point spacings vary by up to + 1 mm due to the manufacturing process and the welding points of immediately adjacent rows are seen in the longitudinal direction of the plates, each by a half ben weld spot spacing.
  • the rows of spot welds in the longitudinal direction of the plates can be equidistant with distances from 5 to 50 mm, but also from 8 to 25 mm, with distances of 10 to 20 mm and also 12 to 14 mm being used.
  • the row spacing can be in a defined geometrical relationship to the point spacing, typically% of the point spacing or somewhat less, so that there is a defined, uniform expansion of the thermal sheets during manufacture.
  • the specified welding point and row spacing is assigned a corresponding number of welding points per m 2 of plate surface.
  • the width of the thermoplates is essentially limited in terms of production technology and can be between 100 and 2500 mm, or also between 500 and 1500 mm.
  • the length of the thermoplates depends on the reaction, in particular on the temperature profile of the reaction, and can be between 500 and 7000 mm, or between 3000 and 4000 mm.
  • thermoplates Two or more thermoplates are arranged in parallel and at a distance from one another, forming a thermoplate module. This creates shaft-like gaps between immediately adjacent sheet metal plates, which have a width of between 8 and 150 mm, for example, but also 10 to 100 mm at the narrowest points of the plate spacing. Widths from 12 to 50 mm or from 14 to 25 mm are also possible, whereby 16 to 20 mm can also be selected. A gap distance of 17 mm has already been tried.
  • thermoplates of a thermoplate module e.g. In the case of large-area panels, additional spacers must be installed to prevent deformation, which can change the panel spacing or position.
  • sections of the sheets can be separated from the flow area of the heat transfer medium, for example by circular roller seams, in order to be able to introduce holes for fastening screws of the spacers into the plates, for example.
  • the gaps can have the same distance, but the gaps can also be of different widths if required, if the reaction permits this or the desired reaction requires it, or apparatus or cooling advantages can be achieved.
  • thermoplate module filled with catalyst particles can be sealed against one another, for example be welded tightly, or can also have a connection on the process side.
